Thanks the Staff
Library How toThis is with the stick neutral, but it is much more tilted right at the start.Looks like it's already close to airborne before the end of the cat. Have you tried anything like a little forward pressure on the stick to keep the tail up?

I changed the launch assistance. Off to test the changes.
Seems to work great!

Works great indeed. The new values are derived from the nosewheel. On my old install I had this all done. Forgot it in my new install. I'm a bit rusty.

For those interested, I found a Navy training film on the F2H-2.. See https://www.google.com/search?Works great indeed. The new values are derived from the nosewheel. On my old install I had this all done. Forgot it in my new install. I'm a bit rusty.

An amusing point is a couple of sailor plane captains securing a Banshee with the engines running, while they are wearing their "white hats" - the J-34 was obviously not much of a sucking threat at idle!

A faster link to the Banshee vid, Mike! Dumb squid with his dixie cup in front of the intakes!

Captain of the Saratoga '69-'70 Med Cruise, Warren H. O'Neil was a Banshee pilot in his younger years!
I have a feeling that "being covered" outside might have been required - as dumb as that may be, but not sure. Perhaps it was a Public Affairs input?A faster link to the Banshee vid, Mike! Dumb squid with his dixie cup in front of the intakes!

My XO in my first A-4 squadron flew F8Fs and Banshees in VF-51. Also the CO of sister squadron VF-13 Pete Easterling, later COMNAVAIRLANT.

I knew ADM Easterling when he was the CO of VF-124 (Crusader College). I was an ORDY with VF-24 (F8C) back then.

I used to talk to my XO and then-CDR Easterling about flying in Korea and the F8F / F2H. They would tell me about shutting down a Banshee engine for most of their flight and not lighting it off again until they were turning off the 180! Good Lord!
I would note that some Brit jets DID launch with the nose gear apparently off the deck as I recall - the Brit cat length was very short and an exaggerated angle was needed to avoid the need for excessive aft stick input after launch, which could lead to overcontrol. Even the US F-4 Navy versions had a problem but solved it by having an extendable nose strut for launch.A few of Rob's planes have the tendency to tilt backwards when these are catapulted from a carrier. Can this be solved?
